Selective accumulation of monoclonal antibodies against neurospecific enolase in brain tissue of rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion

Preparations of I¹²⁵-labeled monoclonal antibodies against neurospecific enolase and mouse plasma IgG1 were injected intravenously to rats immediately after unilateral occlusion of the middle cerebral artery. Radioactivity of I¹²⁵-labeled monoclonal antibodies against neurospecific enolase in the brain tissue progressively increased, reached a maximum by the 48th hour, and remained practically unchanged after 72 h. At the same time radioactivity of labeled IgG1 in the brain tissue and radioactivity of both preparations in the blood, liver, spleen, kidneys, heart, and lungs decreased over 72 h. Selective accumulation of I¹²⁵-labeled monoclonal antibodies against neurospecific enolase was less significant in the brain tissue of the contralateral hemisphere and cerebellum not exposed to ischemia.Translated from Byulleten Eksperimentalnoi Biologii i Meditsiny, Vol. 138, No. 10, pp. 388–392, October, 2004

Neuron-specific enolase as an effective immunohistochemical marker for injured axons after fatal brain injury

Recently, it has been reported that a diagnosis of diffuse axonal injury in cases with a short survival period can be made with the use of immunolabelling for β-amyloid precursor protein (APP). We examined whether immunostaining for neuron-specific enolase (NSE) can also be a useful marker for the detection of axonal injury in its early stages. Sections of the corpus callosum from 19 cases of head injury and from 9 cases of no head injury were immunostained for NSE and stained by the standard Holmes’ silver method. For comparison, serial sections from several cases were immunostained for APP. Immunostaining for NSE as well as for APP, labelled injured axons in head injury cases with as early as 1.5 h survival where Holmes’ staining failed to detect any changes of axons. Since NSE and APP labelled only injured axons but not normal axons, the results were readily interpretable. These findings indicate that NSE should be an effective marker for the detection of axonal injury in its early stages. Received: 7 December 1998 / Received in revised form: 11 March 1999     

Immunohistochemical analysis of 61 pituitary adenomas with a monoclonal antibody to the neuron-specific β-tubulin isotype

Pituitary adenomas surgically resected from 61 consecutive patients and 9 normal pituitary glands were studied by immunohistochemistry to determine the localization of the class III-tubulin isotype (neuron-specific) which is recognized by the monoclonal antibody TUJ1. In normal pituitary glands only a few cells were weakly immunopositive for TUJ1, whereas, in 43(73%) of 61 adenomas, more than 5% of tumor cells were immunopositive. The result may indicate that this neuron-specific -tubulin isotype may be either expressed de novo or enhanced under the transformation of pituitary acinar cells to tumors.Research fellow of the Department of Pathology, Kitasato University School of Medicine where the work was conducted

目的探讨血清神经元特异性烯醇化酶(NSE)及脑干听觉诱发电位(BAEP)在评价新生儿高胆红素血症合并脑组织损伤的临床价值。方法根据血清总胆红素含量不同将90例新生儿高胆红素血症患儿分为A、B两组;40例正常足月新生儿为对照组,分别抽取静脉血行NSE测定和BAEP检测。结果高胆红素血症A、B两组的NSE水平、BAEP异常发生率均明显高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01);高胆红素血症A、B两组之间比较,NSE水平及BAEP异常发生率差异也有统计学意义(P<0.01),且TSB水平与NSE水平呈正相关;同时,BAEP异常发生率也增高。结论NSE与BAEP在高胆红素所致神经毒性评价方面均具有较高敏感性,可作为临床监测指标。     

Difference in pathogenesis between herpes simplex virus type 1 encephalitis and tick-borne encephalitis demonstrated by means of cerebrospinal fluid markers of glial and neuronal destruction

We determined the extent of neuronal and glial cell destruction in 13 patients with herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) encephalitis, 15 patients with tick-borne encephalitis (TBE), and 20 noninfectious controls by analyzing the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of neurofilament protein (a marker of neurons, mainly axons), neuron-specific enolase (a marker of neurons, mainly somas), glial fibrillary acidic protein, and S-100 protein (markers of astrocytes). In addition, in patients with HSV-1 encephalitis CSF samples were collected serially before 7, 8-14, and 18-49 days and 3-10 months after the onset of neurological symptoms. In the acute stage of HSV-1 encephalitis we found markedly higher CSF levels of the cell damage markers than in patients with TBE. The concentration of cell damage markers in HSV-1 encephalitis decreased within 45 days after acute infection, except for neurofilament protein. The CSF concentrations of neurofilament protein increased during the second week, remained extremely high throughout the next month, and decrease thereafter. The changes in these markers of neuronal and glial destruction demonstrate the neuronal and astroglial cell damage during the first month after HSV-1 encephalitis. In contrast, most patients with TBE had signs only of slight astrogliosis, except for two patients with paresis.

神经元特异性烯醇化酶和脑钠肽在中老年基底节区出血 85例预后中的应用研究

目的探讨神经元特异性烯醇化酶( NSE)和脑钠肽在中老年基底节区出血病人预后评估中的应用价值。方法选择 2020年 1月至 2022年 12月在安徽医科大学附属滁州医院治疗的 85例中老年基底节区出血病人进行回顾性分析,根据病人发病后 3个月的改良 Rankin量表( mRS)评分,将病人分为预后良好组和预后不良组,利用受试者操作特征曲线( ROC曲线)和 logistic回归分析评估 NSE和脑钠肽的预后价值。结果预后良好组中 NSE(13.67±4.51)μg/L明显低于预后不良组(18.36±6.52)μg/L(P<0.001)预后良好组中脑钠肽 143.00(98.00,233.80)ng/L明显低于预后不良组 230.00(120.00,400.00)ng/L(P=0.002)。 ROC曲线显示,NSE和脑钠肽的最佳截取值分别为 15.5 μg/L和 156.5 ng/L。NSE联合脑钠肽时 AUC为 0.76,与二者单独应用时的 0.73、0.70差异无统计学意义。 logistic回归分析显示出血量( P=0.017)、 NSE(P=0.003)和脑钠肽( P=0.033)是影响病人预后的独立危险因素。结论 NSE和脑钠肽在中老年基底节区出血病人的短期预后评估中具有重要价值,值得进一步研究。
